A literature review is presented which focuses on organic chemicals in wastes, wastewaters, sediments, and organisms of aquatic systems. General organic measurements are presented followed by the analysis of surfactants; aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons; pesticides, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and related compounds; and naturally-occurring organics. Among the studies reviewed were several dealing with PCBs, and organic chemicals resulting from petroleum pollution. (JMT)
